The Mail’s target is to get 1,000 people from across the West Midlands to make an #iwill pledge - whether it’s young people promising to take part in social action or getting businesses or other groups to work with them.

Luciano picks up the story on how he and his team transformed the Hazel Slade Youth Centre.

“As a group, we decided out of three projects that we would help renovate the centre for a couple of reasons,” he said.

“Some of the people in our group had previously been to nursery there when they were little and they didn’t want the place to be left to run down.]

“Another reason was that it was the biggest project out of the three we were considering and we would have the biggest sense of achievement when we completed this massive task.

“We went out to local DIY shops to ask about prices and discounts towards our project which allowed us to set ourselves a target budget of £400 to buy all of the equipment for the project.”

The team spent two days packing bags at local supermarkets which raised more than £600 and Luciano even donned the NCS mascot costume and danced around Cannock town centre, giving people free hugs and flowers.

The headmistress of Hazel Slade Primary School asked the group to decorate the inside of the centre by creating one side of the room for children and another for clubs such as book club and tea mornings.
